Panasonic PT-AX200U Menus
The main image control menu is the Picture menu, shown here. The Picture Mode menu, lets
you select from a wide range of presets for movie viewing, TV, and dynamic modes designed
to cut through rather impressive amounts of ambient light. (Vivid Cinema, Cinema 1, Cinema
2, Natural, Normal, Game, and Dynamic.)
In addition, there are the usual brightness, contrast, color, tint, sharpness, and color
temperature. There are other color management options as well.
Of note, there is also the Light Harmonizer function, where the sensor on the top of the
projector adjusts many of the picture attributes to compensate for different ambient light
levels.
From the Picture menu, you can select the Advanced menu, shown here. This is the area
where we perform our grayscale adjustments.
There is the Position menu which handles adjustments to computer images if the auto sync
isn't perfect, and other functions as well. The Function menu lets you assign one function to
the programmable "Favorite" key on the PT-AX200U's remote control. When you select the
Function menu, you can choose from any of the seven Presets, for the Function button
(Cinema 1, Dynamic, etc, or any of about a dozen other functions including different sources,
light harmonizer, or a favorite saved setting).
There is also the usual Language menu for selecting your favorite language for the menus.
